I thinnk the cats at Tabor Interactive have something along those lines.
They could tell you, but they'll have to kill you. ;p Actually, what
you're talking about is about as easy as it sounds, if that hard. I'm
finishing up a hybrid called WebSpinner right now (after my XML2Struct
parser is finished dammit... it's coming it's coming!!!) But you better
plan your code-builder model very carefully or you'll be pulling double
duty. I say go database-driven for your codestore so that you can keep a
metaphoric distance between the code generator program itself and the source
snippets you want to use as building blocks for your final product(s).
Just a thought.
